Bodyguard + Prockets?

By cjnj193, in X-Wing

So was checking out scum Z-95s when I noticed the bodyguard actually increases the agility of the chosen ship. So that got me thinking to how that may be used to give Zs a fully charged procket for even cheaper than what any rebel ship could get. I'm thinking the build may look something like this:

Palob Godalhi — HWK-290 20

Bodyguard 2

Blaster Turret 4

Recon Specialist 3

Moldy Crow 3

Kaa'To Leeachos — Z-95 Headhunter 15

Predator 3

Proton Rockets 3

Boba Fett (Scum) — Firespray-31 39

Swarm Tactics 2

Seismic Charges 2

Greedo 1

Proton Rockets 3

Granted I haven't tried any scum yet, and have yet to fly Zs or hwks(but I have flown a firespray a few times) just curious as to what you all think of this build?

The range 1 restriction on bodyguard is going to be the frustrating thing. That and prockets are range 1 on target.

I actually quite the list and concept, except for the need for Swarm Tactics on Fett to allow Kaa'To to be bodyguarded. Because of his ability to steal focus thus being able to TL as his action, he might be better off with VI instead of predator. Allowing Fett to take something else for his EPT, perhaps Predator (oh right it's scum Fett, so probably not needed), or something else entirely.

Random question, outmaneuver work with butt cannons?

Yeah Outmaneuver does work with the auxiliary arc. Not a bad idea. Could possibly "upgrade" Greedo to a Recon Spec with the extra points, combos nicely with him being Bodyguarded, or him giving up a focus to Kaa'to (who I might just call the Hornet from now on). Or find a way to put engine on Fett, can't really go wrong with Engine.

So looking more into it if ya wanted to give Fett prockets then ya can just equip Countermeasures on him, rendering him completely independent on the rest of his squad but taking up a mod slot, basically a 6 pt 5 dice attack. Dem Prockets doe...

Half of me loves this idea. You storm into close range, pop countermeasures to be AGI 3 for the round, so you're doing 5 dice out your front arc with focus/re-rolls and 3 green dice with re-rolls. Fett just hulks out for a turn before going on his way. That large front arc is a little nicer for Prockets, too.
